ESPNA and ESPNA2???
Did anyone notice that along with the ESPN channels came two new channels (something like 306 and 308 but I don't remember exactly). Yesterday they had no names but today they are showing up in the guide as ESPNA and ESPNA2 -- but they don't have any programming.
Are these desportes channels or something else?

These are called "alternate" channels. If a game that's on is blacked out in your area, the alternate channel may still allow you to get it.
That's interesting. Would they show multiple college football/basketball games during football/basketball season? Or would that be encroaching on the NCAA packages you can buy on other sat/cable providers.
The greatest benifit having the alt. feeds of both ESPN channels is that usually on Wed. nights there's another baseball game being played on the alt. feed of ESPN or ESPN2. You get a choice of what game you want to see unless one of those teams are in your home market. Home market baseball teams are usually blackout, esp. if that game is on another TV channel in your market.
ESPN - HD 301 seems to be out on VOOM. I turned to my E* receiver and I got the signal fine but not on VOOM. Anyone else?
I am getting all the ESPN channels but no program information as to what is on. (The other program information is there) Anyone else getting program info. concerning ESPN?

I started getting program information this afternoon. Leave your box off tonight and it will download the PG by tomorrow. If that does not work, reboot box and wait 20 minutes.
I guess i did have them just never watched. I didnt like the way they grouped the HD channels together out of the packages. Never tuned into the sd ones. thanks for the correction.jimboeau said:channels 210 and 211 on D*
Im very happy you guys are getting ESPN!! We had to do a lot of work to get it out there! I uplinked ESPN as soon as I got it from them, but it takes VOOM a day or two to update the channel map and the guide.
